Hasta La Gadget!

The other day we reported on a rumor that Olympus had a couple of mirrorless cameras coming up, the E-P5 and the E-PL6. While we’re still waiting on what the E-PL6 could look like, the folks at 43Rumors have managed to get their hands on what looks like a leaked photo of the upcoming E-P5 camera. As expected, the camera is reminiscent of the class PEN F model from back in the day, and if the rumors are to be believed, the E-P5 is expected to feature a 16MP camera and built-in WiFi to allow photographers to transfer photos from the camera to their mobile devices or computers wirelessly. The rest of the specs remain unknown but we expect the rest to be revealed sometime in May, so stay tuned for updates! In the meantime what do you guys make of this? Anyone digging the retro look, or would you have preferred something a little more modern?

Last year, Olympus’ release schedule danced around the E-P3: the camera maker launched the semi-pro OM-D E-M5 and refreshed its smaller PEN bodies, but didn’t touch its original mirrorless form factor. We know the company won’t be forgetting its roots this year, as its Chinese branch has posted a teaser for a next-generation, flagship PEN camera. There are no official details beyond superlatives about “classic” textures and “unprecedented control,” but rumors suggest it will be called the E-P5 (E-P4 skipped due to superstitions) and might be joined by the mid-tier E-PL6. We won’t have long to learn the full story when Olympus is showing off its new PEN in four Chinese cities between May 11th and June 1st — in-person demos require more than just a silhouette, after all.
